S.W.I.F.T. Annual Meeting

Well, a little bit ago I got back from my first Indiana statewide guild meeting. Not a huge crowd, but it was fun. This is Sue Markle, the Chairwoman of SWIFT. At the moment she isn't addressing the group, but she talked and spun at the same time as the group knitted or spun or whatever. That is the way to have a meeting! I took my daughter, Natalie with me (and the bunny) and with her picking the numbers for the door prize, I won! Wouldn't you know it was the first one she pulled out of the box! Great job! I won 4.7 oz of dyed Romney. This makes for a good prize winning week. Monday I got a phone call from the park where we spent last Saturday at the annual Maple fest. I won a small bottle of maple syrup, some maple popcorn, and some maple candy. Do you think I should buy a lottery ticket? Nah, I would rather not be tempted!

I finished plying and dyeing the needed yellow yarn to work on my backpack some more. I got a package from KnitPicks and I want to finish that project before I start on something new that is as involved as the dress and sweater pattern I ordered. I didn't purchase enough the first time so I had to reorder as soon as I opened the box. The site didn't have the yarn requirements stated so I had to guess. I'm not too good at that. This time I got enough to make a pair of socks for my 5yo (and maybe me) to go along with it.
